Netflix scored a big coup with its semi-exclusive Disney deal (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/04/netflix-strikes-licensing-agreement-with-disney-will-be-exclusi/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) late last year, but the newly expanded content didn't reach everybody in one shot -- just ask the British and Irish, who've been left high and dry so far. To viewers' relief, the companies have mended that gap with immediate availability of Disney and Disney-Pixar movies in Ireland and the UK. The initial mix includes not-quite-recent movies like Wall-E as well as back-catalog classics like The Aristocats; the months ahead will see Netflix' selection catch up slightly by introducing the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie, among other titles. Combined with the upcoming additions of some DreamWorks (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/12/netflix-and-dreamworks-to-launch-original-show-for-kids/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and Marvel movies, the Disney pact should hopefully keep the kids (and, we'll admit, ourselves) entertained just as the summer is about to start.
